Mr. Rivera opened the post by expressing his strongest disapproval of the logic of Ms. Raissa Robles’ statement that the Duterte backers or supporters to live with guilt when the killing starts under a Duterte presidency.
But before we tackle the rebuttal of Mr. Rivera, please read first the controversial statement of Ms. Raissa Robles to give you an idea where the netizen is coming from.
To all those backing Duterte, just remember, when the killings start, you should be beside him. All the way. Even after the river of blood overflows. Stand by him and tell yourself, you helped the blood flow. You are very much a part of it. Don’t wash your hands off it. Be proud of what you’ve done.
The post of Ms. Raissa Robles has gone viral since it was posted 23 hours ago and has been shared 12,000 times on Facebook.
The reaction to the post has been a mixed of applause from the anti-Duterte, but mostly negative from the Duterte supporters.
Now, READ the reply of Mr. Rivera below:
I found this somewhere in my timeline. And it makes me sick. Sick because I remember I voted for PNOY in 2010.
By this logic, each and every Filipino should blame me for each and every death of the 44 SAF. For every time the MRT breaks down. For everytime the traffic was so bad that it took you 6hrs to get home. 6 damn hours you could have spent with your family. For every damn farmer that was jailed and shot because they rallied for food. For every hostage that was killed in Luneta. For every victim of the tanim bala and every year that NAIA was named the worst airport. For the Canadian that was beheaded by the Abu Sayyaf. For all those unaccounted for after Yolanda be it funds or deaths. By this logic, we should blame every Davaoeno because they voted Duterte to govern them for decades and look where they ended up.
By this logic, she is telling us, innocent blood is on our hands because we trusted PNOY to lead us. Those who voted for PNOY. Remember that. So for everyone of you who voted for PNOY in 2010, live with that.

What can you say about Raissa Roble’s statement?
Guess what … you are responsible.
Pinoy
Macapagal-Arroyo
Whoever you give your stamp of approval.
Aquino … was ridiculous … everyone weeping for Corazon’s passing was caught up in the hysteria and didn’t base their choice on logic, but emotion.
Ditto … Duterte!
Probably moderator delete’s my comment … because they are working for (anti-christ) Quiboloy!
Go to hell Raissa Robles kaya wala asenso pinas dahil sa mga katulad mo.
Sinabi mo pa. I shared this one yesterday pero me nagscreenshot kasi me halong personal attacks kaya nagsorry na ako agad sa taong iyon na dati ko pang katrabaho. I admit it’s my fault but some others might not accept my apology kaya nagpatulong na ako sa mga kaibigan ko na me koneksyon sa NBI for protection whatever the reason and they told me to stop posting political-related topics at baka mapasama ako lalo as if this would be more dangerous na baka ako mademanda. I hope na maunawaan nila ako but not all of them would be pleased.
para lang biyenan ko pag kausap anak nya…. “magdusa ka, yan pinili mo eh!!!”
hahahhahahhahahaha!….
Sad brod cguro mayaman byenan mo at kayo ay wala o di kaya’y ala kang work or whatever case may just 4get it as long as u live happy.
Rolly…Puruntong? Asawa ni Madel?
Very well said kuya! Kudos sayo Mr. RIVERA
Bravo!!! Clap clap clap!!
Are you sane ms.robles? You are just like P-noy blaming everything to Gloria, and everyone except himself, and also like Cory, blaming Marcos for everything! Wake up!
yes it will be flooded of blood because all the lawless individuals, even corrupt government employees and officials will be persecuted. In magalang pampanga, he was just going to prak his inside his garage but what happened to him, the carnaper killed him and took his car. A chop chop lady found in mabalacat bridge, thousands of commuters using MRT LRT everyday, it was never been easy for them. LTO, where are the plate no. and driver’s license and stickers. DFA, why is it takes two weeks to release your passport. The yolanda victims, what happened to the donations from international community, is ther anyone seen the housing project of the government for PNP and teachers? it’s a very small space and the materials are below guality, philhealth-why there is now a ceiling or limit to all kind of sickness? you never winder why? this was my opinion about it, very simple, if the pilhealth will cover every expenses in the hospitals, private health insurance will not going to make money because no one will patronize private health insurance. remember my fellow filipinos, more than 3 trillions pesos a year collection of taxes, so we deserve to use transportation which are below standard, do we deserve to under the sun while government employees stayed inside an airconditioned room, NSO, NBI, LTO, LTFRB, LOCAL GOVERNMENT OFFICES, try to visit those agencies and you will find out how we filipinos suffers. DO WE DESERVE THAT KIND OF TREATMENT from the government, do we deserve that one of our love ones be killed by criminals, do we deserve to live in a place where shabu labolatory are everywhere. NOW who can justify that we don’t need iron fist to combat those violence againts innocent individuals.
If God Himself commands governments to execute evildoers (criminals) in societies, and puts His stamp on approval for each executed criminal. Everyday and every night I would sleep soundly like a baby everytime criminals are executed by governments who are only fulfilling this basic responsibility to rid out evil in our midst. For He who created human beings have also made heaven and hell for reward and punishment one for those who would obey Him or not.
Iisipin ko pa lang yung video ni Mar telling the mayor from Leyte that “you have to remember you are a Romualdez and the president is an Aquino” parang nabiyak puso ko …. akala ko ba public servants sila and they are there to serve the Filipino people. I just hope whoever wins the presidential race will sincerely serve his country. Regardless of who they voted for. In God We Trust.
Well, no not you who simply voted. Choice mo nun, tuta ni Arroyo, or si PNoy. Who was the lesser evil at the time? No matter what PNoy has done, we cannot deny the economic growth and the increased respect in the international banking community and investors, and nasimulan na ang madaming infrastructure projects like the Skyway and repair of roads sa probinsya. I drove 300km from Alabang to Bicol last April. Kitang kita pagbabago sa kalsada compared when I last drove it. So at least kahit paano may napala tayo sa kanya bago siya umalis.
Yung i-blame dapat is yung mga nagrally na patakbuhin si PNoy. Ayaw nung tao tumakbo noong 2010, si Roxas dapat tatakbo, sabi di pa siya ready, pero rally ng rally to the point na hindi na raw sila boboto kung hindi si PNoy tatakbo. So sila dapat ang sisihin sa mga nangyari under PNoy, not the voters. 😀 Kung di sila nagrally at namilit, edi hindi sana naging choice for president in the 1st place si PNoy.
Mr. Rivera you speak the truth of what this country is suffering.
Madami talaga ang napapaikot ng mga kandidato kaya pati sila nagiging instrumento para siraan ang iba, all of us are supporting different candidates pero bakit sinisira pa ang ibang tao. On the other hand, ung mga taong naninira, yan lang ba ang alam biyong gawin at isisi lahat ng kamaluan sa iba? Kayo ba as citizens of the Phlippines, did you do something in improving our country. Or, magstick pa din kayo sa kung anung meron tayo ngayon? Puro problema na laging sinisisi sa ibang tao imbis na gawan bg solusyon …
Unsa diay ni karon? Wa pa ka na sicken day? Ang mga batang sukarap nagdaghan na. Drugs factory ang kulungan? patay diri patay didto. Kung ikaw ginikanan di ka mamili ug maka hatag nimo ug sa imong pamilya ug safety? Maayo siguro ka kay wa kay gikagul an nga mga anak mouli sa gabii? Ako naa. You are just too safe and wouldn’t want out of your comfort zone. Let us be bold. Time to change, take calculated risks and move forward. We are in the age of Multimedia for goodness sake. If he goes out of hand… just like Pnoy we will get rid of him. We are the people we are sovereign.
VERY WELL SAID MR. RIVERA.!! So brilliant!!
Robles was just referring to the possible killings that duterte might do so don’t compare with past administrations bcoz they didn’t kill anyone. The saf44 is a totally diff case as well kasi mga npa or abusayaff ang involved who are being linked to duterte:)
Kudos Mr. Rivera
Backfired, hard!
Miss Robles it is easy for you say those things. Why ? Are you expecting that the election tomorrow will be “bloody” ? The Filipinos with their clean heart and mind will certainly not start the fight and believe me they are more interested in something positive, something that will create new change. Don’t you want to join them so you’ll be in this one flag nation ? Heal your heart. It is possible with an act of humility.
It is true what robles said. And yes i voted for aquino and i do feel partly responsible for his failings. All our actions have consequences and ms rivera is not wrong for saying what she said. Our votes comes with risks and along with risks there are rewards as well. Yes, some blood will be on our hands, just dont forget that the hundreds or thousands of lives that are saved because of one dead drug pusher will also be to our credit. #du30parin #parasapagbabago
It is pathetic that some journalist in Philippines doesn’t use their talent in a more responsible way. They don’t have integrity at all. They are a same to the rest of the journalist around the world.
Raissa, if you are a criminal or coddler of criminals, druglords, smugglers and other dregs of society, then you should be afraid of Duterte, be very afraid. But if you are a law-abiding citizen, you have nothing to fear. Many of us residents of Davao, who sleep peacefully at night because of the existence of law and order, sometimes cannot help but feel that those who are excessively afraid of Duterte are those who in one way or another benefit from the status quo.
Kasama Din Ba Yan Sa Nabigyan Ng ENVELOP Na Kultong Dilaw.
Sirang-sira ang logic mo Mr. Rivera. Lahat ng mga inakusa mo kay PNoy (SAF 44 killing, tanim-bala, etc.) he did not do personally or participated in with criminal intent. Very much unlike your Duterte, who promised to summarily kill thousands of criminals without due process. You are a mental case!
I also shared this one but someone took the screenshot yesterday na dati ko pang katrabaho kaya buti na lang kamo kinausap ako ng dati kong Team Lead at baka pa ako maasunto sa post. So beastmode on her post. Sobra. Di komo nasabi niyang nagpapatay si Duterte, ganun na agad ang nasa isip niya. Bago niya sabihin iyan, sabihin niya ng diretsahan kay Digong. Ewan ko na lang kung ano ang mangyari sa taong ito. So I apologize dun sa nagscreenshot and he accepted my apology but those who saw my post got very angry. So ano gusto nilang palabasin ng mga putok sa buhong nakabasa at nagalit sa shinare ko, eh it’s my opinion. Eh kung sabihin ninyong me halong cyberbullying aba wag nyo nga ako tinitira. Magpasalamat nga kayo nakapagsorry ako. Pero sa mga hindi marunong tumanggap ng apology, magbigti na lang kayo. Kahit anong ibato ninyong hindi maganda kay Duterte, lalo lang lalakas ang loob naming suportahan siya.
#Du30
WTF are you talking about?
Well by that ‘logic’ of urs… Did u know beforehand pnoy would commit it if he would then be president?? Come on you u know better!
By duterte u know he is willing to kill / will kill if he will become president.
So by that logic the blood of the victims will be at your hands! Pontius Pilate!

Oh, by the way. Your Duterte will not win.
What now? hehehe just asking.
Oh kamusta na?
I dont think miss robles really meant what she have commented to all followers of Duterte. She just made it up herself to become famous and at the same time to show her support to this Aquino administration. She knew very well how to make people, disgusted people, hard up , fed up with corruption, criminality, drugs every where. Congratulations, raissa. You have made yourself to the top!! Are you satisfied now and can sleep well wth a sweet smile on your lips? Think well, my dear, you will hear from people, desperate ones, hungry for justice ang fairness. No matter what happen under Dutertes leadership we will stand beside him for GOD WILL BE WITH US. GODBLESS THE FILIPINO PEOPLE.
Romeo Algarate! You have not grasped…even a bit of what Ms. Robles is talking about neither youve got the slightest clue who is Raissa Robles! bloodiest-Ignorance!
Presumptuous and immature, this Robles. Laughable trend of thought. Or did she even think?
Nah, it’s a different logical sphere altogether.
1. Voters of Duterte ALREADY know that Duterte plans the mass execution of criminals (or alleged criminals) without due process. They know voting for him would most likely lead to this bloody carnage, but they still insist on voting for him.
On the other hand, voters of Aquino didn’t know Aquino was capable of such blunders PRIOR to his election. If Aquino promised in his campaign that he’ll carelessly abandon his special forces on a secret mission if elected, YET voters still insisted on voting for him, that’s make them liable.
Yes duterte ako
No one candidate can accurately predict what problems will happen during the presidency. The difference is that Duterte has publicly declared his plans of extra judicial killings, abolition of Congress, etc. even BEFORE the elections. I think what Robles is saying is that If you still vote for him despite being forewarned, you should stand by your vote.
It’s a choice they make! Everyone has been warned that the law will be strictly implemented. Its even worse to ignore the evil activity and jeopardize innocent people because we choose not to implemented the law. It has been reiterated that when the lives of the law enforcer are at risk during the arrest and they have no choice but to shoot the perpetuator.
Agree with you Owens… Duterte’s choices are pre-meditated, while Pinoy’s were wrong choice of decision, but when he chose it, for him he was doing his best though his best was not best for everyone!..but he did it with all sincerity & honestly for d good of ALL.. He was d one who was ‘in that situation DURING
that time’ he alone could feel d pressure
from every grp!
Why do we have trafic. Because many bouth cars cant you see lots of no plates and new plates lots of bus because there is a big demand . why mrt always break down its because it is over loaded with persons going to work we had lots of jobs now. The aquino administration concentrated on jobs and economy they took funds for ongoing infrastructures from this growth 6 years is not enough to setup all this infrastructures. The SAF tragedy is not purely there fault they are not military persons. The Yolanda was the strongest storm in the world we are not really ready for this kind of natural disaster.
Du30 is disipline for sure we might not have this freedom of posting our toughts. Du30 is Marcos and Marcos is Du30
After 6 months after he win and cannot deliver either he’ll be impeach or he will resign to give way for marcos its there plan remember marcos went to Du30.
Even Poe wins she is for Marcos there brothers.
So this is still aquino vs marcos fight.
Just imagine how our economy will fall again during this period this is the reason we always loose momentum when we change our president’s flatform.
…in short, Pres Pinoy’s were honest mistakes.. if happened several times, just look that more right things were done ..
Isama siya kay Noynoy. Blood is in her hands for the Luisita and Mendiola massacre, 44 SAF men told to stand down to be slaughtered cos mawawalan ng nobel prize si Noynoy; Kidapawan; all those who starved and suffered in Tacloban, hostages killed in Luneta, etc. bakit ko ba pinapatulan itong sinungaling na ito.., she was also there posting lies about Corona! Yun pala mga binayaran lang. Nagmana ka na kay Boy Sisi!
Logically, The difference is that PNoy didn’t go around announcing that he was going to kill these SAF men. He didn’t announce that the MRT would break down during his term. During his campaign, Duterte seemed proud of his reputation as a vigilante and didn’t deny it.
